Jean-Claude Bradley presents on "Technology and Students - Mix, Match or Miss?" at the Villanova Teaching and Learning Strategies Symposium on May 13, 2010. Topics covered include screencasting, wikis, games and Second Life, with a particular focus on student response to these technologies.
One Scientist’s Wish List for Scientific PublishersPhilip Bourne
1. The document summarizes the speaker's wish list and vision for improving scientific publishing and communication. The speaker advocates for more open access to literature and data, better integration of literature and data, and ensuring reproducibility through sharing of workflows, source code, and data.
2. The speaker discusses experiments with rich media formats like video to enhance scholarly communication. The goal is to leverage new technologies and better link literature, data, and methods.
3. The current reward system in academia does not adequately incentivize open and reproducible science. New models are needed that reward things like maintaining databases, curating data, and developing community resources.
The document discusses various open education tools for use in chemistry courses, including screencasting lectures, wikis, open notebook science, and games. It provides examples of these tools being used, such as recording lectures, organizing course content on wikis, making research data and lab notebooks publicly available, and games for learning chemistry concepts. Student response to these tools is also discussed, with most students finding value in access to recorded lectures and using wikis for assignments, and appreciation for rapid feedback and learning documentation skills through open notebooks.
Presentation of science 2.0 at European Astronomical Societyosimod
The document discusses Science 2.0 and the emerging open science ecosystem. It provides three examples of open science projects: Galaxy Zoo, which had volunteers classify galaxies; Synaptic Leap, which published all data and experiments online to identify a new drug; and a paper on debt and growth that was found to have errors after its data and methods were shared. It then outlines various aspects of open science like open data, citizen science, and mass collaboration.
Searching Deeply for Data, Results and Tools- What is Stopping Us?Philip Bourne
Philip Bourne summarizes challenges facing open access to scientific literature, data, and methods, and proposes solutions to address them. Specifically, he notes that (1) open access literature has further progress needed, (2) data sharing faces issues around accessibility and standardization, and (3) methods reproducibility could be improved. His proposed solutions include advocating for open access, leveraging existing open resources, promoting data and methods sharing policies, and funding collaboration around standards and applications.
Mendeley is an academic collaboration platform that allows researchers to organize and annotate research papers, extract metadata and fulltext from PDFs, and share and discuss their research in groups. It aggregates all of this information in the cloud. Mendeley has over 500 million uploaded documents and its largest user bases are at universities like Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, and Harvard. It is turning its large database into an open API platform and over 300 third party apps have already been built on it. Studies have shown strong correlations between Mendeley readership data and traditional citation metrics. Mendeley was later acquired by Elsevier to combine its social features with Elsevier's academic content and workflow tools.

The Scientific and Technical Foundation for Altmetrics in the United StatesWilliam Gunn
This document discusses altmetrics and the need for new metrics to measure new forms of scholarship beyond traditional citations and impact factors. It notes problems with impact factors and citations, such as being slow, arbitrary, and not capturing broader impacts of research. Altmetrics are described as faster metrics that measure broader impacts through readership, social media mentions, downloads and views. The document calls for standards and best practices in altmetrics through a NISO working group to ensure quality, transparency and consistency in altmetrics data collection and reporting.
Academia to Entrepreneur: Why and How to Leave Academia BehindWilliam Gunn
This document discusses leaving academia for entrepreneurship. It shares the author's experience of transitioning from a PhD to founding Mendeley, a company that helps researchers work smarter. It provides advice for researchers considering leaving academia, such as diversifying your skills and experience, seeking guidance from those who have already transitioned, and networking within and outside your department to find opportunities. The author emphasizes the importance of having clear goals and an entrepreneurial mindset to make the transition successfully.

The Future of Research (Science and Technology)Duncan Hull
This document summarizes the key trends in modern scientific research, including the rise of data-intensive science, collaborative and distributed research, and open science. It discusses how research is becoming more data-driven and dependent on large datasets. It also notes the growth of virtual and distributed collaboration between researchers. Finally, it outlines some of the implications for libraries and services to support reproducible, open, and data-driven scientific research.
Social metrics for Research: Quantity and QualityWilliam Gunn
This document discusses problems with current metrics for measuring research quality and impact, such as journal impact factors. It argues that research is moving too slowly and producing poor quality results. Alternative metrics called "altmetrics" are proposed to provide better data on what research is actually being read and used. The document introduces Mendeley as a company that aggregates research data in the cloud and collects rich signals about papers, people, and topics to provide analytics about research impact and help make science more collaborative and transparent.
Bioinformatics workflows and study designElanaFertig
This document discusses the importance of study design and collaboration with bioinformaticians in bioinformatics analyses. It recommends early consultation with bioinformaticians on sample preparation, technology selection, and study design to minimize technical artifacts and avoid confounding factors that could impact data quality and analyses. Working interactively with bioinformaticians during data preprocessing, cleaning, and analysis allows issues to be addressed and reproducible analysis to be conducted.

Open Data and the Social Sciences - OpenCon Community WebcastRight to Research
The document discusses issues with transparency and reproducibility in social science research. It notes that research influences policy and decisions that affect millions of lives. However, weak academic norms like publication bias, p-hacking, non-disclosure, and failure to replicate can distort the body of evidence. The document proposes solutions like pre-registering studies and pre-specifying analyses to address these issues. It also discusses resources and efforts like the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences to raise awareness, foster adoption of transparent practices, and identify strategies to improve reproducibility.
This document discusses the history and concepts of e-research. It begins with an introduction by Khadak Raj Adhikari and outlines what will be discussed, including the definition of e-research, its key aspects, a timeline of its history from 1994 to the present, and how it compares to traditional research. The timeline discusses the development of e-research alongside the evolution of the world wide web from versions 1.0 to 4.0. It describes how e-research has advanced research processes by facilitating online collaboration, data collection and analysis using digital tools.
This document discusses how researchers need to engage more with online social networks to further their careers. It states that a researcher's reputation and visibility is now dependent on how connected their work is through online networks and citations on articles. It emphasizes that social networks now mediate the sharing of information and ideas, so researchers must participate in these spaces to stay relevant and for their work to be discovered.
Meeting the Research Data Management Challenge - Rachel Bruce, Kevin Ashley, ...Jisc
Universities and researchers need to be able to manage research data effectively to fulfil research funders requirements and ultimately to contribute to research excellence. UK universities are comparatively well advanced in what is a global challenge, but none the less there needs to be further advances in university policy, technical and support services. This session will share best practice in research data management and information about key tools that can help to develop university solutions; and it will also inform participants about the latest Jisc initiatives to help build university research data services and shared services.
This document discusses problems with traditional scholarly publishing and proposes solutions centered around open data and transparency. It notes that traditional publishing hinders reproducibility due to lack of access to data and methods. This has led to an increasing number of non-reproducible findings and retractions. The document advocates for incentivizing the publication of data, software, workflows and other research objects to improve reproducibility and transparency. It highlights several examples where making these elements openly available improved scrutiny and identified errors in published works.
I won't be #BulliedIntoBadScience! - Laurent Gatto - OpenCon 2017Right to Research
This presentation by Laurent Gatto was part of OpenCon 2017's Next-Generation Initiatives Advancing Open panel.
The #BulliedIntoBadScience campaign was initiated after several attempts to influence publishing practices at the University of Cambridge and in the UK. However, it seems at times impossible for academics, early stage and more senior, to change a broken system that is, sadly, just accepted by most. During this OpenCon 2017 Panel, Laurent shared some of the background of the #BulliedIntoBadScience campaign and reflected on early career researchers' challenges in fighting for a more ethical environment.

The document discusses the myExperiment virtual research environment for sharing workflows. Some key points:
1. myExperiment is a social network and repository for research workflows and methods. It currently has over 1800 users and hundreds of shared workflows.
2. The site allows fine-grained privacy controls, grouping of related content into "packs", and integration with other systems through federation.
3. Analysis found that most workflows and other content are shared publicly, and some users actively build upon other users' shared workflows. The most viewed workflow has over 1500 views.
4. The principles behind myExperiment's design focus on empowering scientists by enabling new forms of collaboration and sharing without forcing changes to workflows. The

Jean-Claude Bradley presents on "Peer Review and Science2.0: blogs, wikis and social networking sites" as a guest lecturer for the “Peer Review Culture in Scholarly Publication and Grantmaking” course at Drexel University. The main thrust of the presentation is that peer review alone is not capable of coping with the increasing flood of scientific information being generated and shared. Arguments are made to show that providing sufficient proof for scientific findings does scale and weakens the tragedy of the trusted source cascade.

Research Objects: why, what and how,
In practice the exchange, reuse and reproduction of scientific experiments is hard, dependent on bundling and exchanging the experimental methods, computational codes, data, algorithms, workflows and so on along with the narrative. These "Research Objects" are not fixed, just as research is not “finished”: codes fork, data is updated, algorithms are revised, workflows break, service updates are released. Neither should they be viewed just as second-class artifacts tethered to publications, but the focus of research outcomes in their own right: articles clustered around datasets, methods with citation profiles. Many funders and publishers have come to acknowledge this, moving to data sharing policies and provisioning e-infrastructure platforms. Many researchers recognise the importance of working with Research Objects. The term has become widespread. However. What is a Research Object? How do you mint one, exchange one, build a platform to support one, curate one? How do we introduce them in a lightweight way that platform developers can migrate to? What is the practical impact of a Research Object Commons on training, stewardship, scholarship, sharing? How do we address the scholarly and technological debt of making and maintaining Research Objects? Are there any examples
I’ll present our practical experiences of the why, what and how of Research Objects.

A Revolution in Open Science: Open Data and the Role of Libraries (Professor ...LIBER Europe
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges of open science and open data. It argues that openly sharing scientific data and findings has significant benefits, including enabling faster scientific progress, deterring fraud, and supporting citizen science. However, for data to be truly open and useful to others, it needs to be accessible, intelligible, assessable, and reusable. The document also examines the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders in working towards more open and reproducible science. This includes changing incentives for scientists, strategic funding for technical solutions from funders, and exploring how institutions like libraries and learned societies can help address the challenges of managing and making sense of the growing volume of research data.
This document discusses Science 2.0 and the shift towards more open and collaborative ways of conducting science. It provides three examples of Science 2.0 projects: Galaxyzoo, which had over 150,000 volunteers classify galaxies; Synaptic Leap, which published all data and experiments online to collaborate on finding new drug treatments; and a study on government debt that was found to have coding errors after others accessed the original data. The document argues that Science 2.0 involves more than just open access, and includes data-intensive science, citizen science, open code, and open lab books/workflows. It discusses how different Science 2.0 practices are growing at different rates and the implications this shift has for scientific outputs, methods,
This document discusses DynaLearn, a learning environment that uses conceptual modeling to help students learn conceptual knowledge. It describes how traditional teaching methods often result in students having an incomplete understanding of concepts. DynaLearn addresses this by having students actively create conceptual models of systems to help them understand causality, states, and behaviors. Evaluation studies found that DynaLearn improves systems thinking and allows gradual development of modeling expertise. The document calls for collaborators to help develop learning experiences using DynaLearn in secondary classrooms and evaluate its effectiveness.
This document discusses challenges with the current scientific publishing system and proposes a vision for next generation scientific publishing (NGSP). Some key problems include retractions due to misconduct, lack of reproducibility, and non-reusable data and methods. NGSP would feature transparent and computable data and methods, open annotation of narratives and objects, and no restrictions on text mining or remixing. It would move information more quickly and allow verification through an open, service-oriented system without walled gardens. Taking NGSP forward will require collaboration across stakeholders in research communications.
Insights into European research funder Open policies and practicesSPARC Europe
This document summarizes the key findings from a survey of 62 European research funders on their open access and open science policies and practices. The survey was conducted as part of the RIF Project, which aims to promote more open policies across Europe. Key findings include: over half of funders have open access policies but few have research data policies; most funders provide some support for open access infrastructure but less for research data infrastructure; and while many funders have signed declarations on responsible metrics, journal impact factors remain widely used in evaluation. The report recommends European funders do more to harmonize, strengthen and implement their open policies.

This presentation outlines the challenges of sustaining Open infrastructure and an approach on how to collectively fund it.
It was given by Vanessa Proudman, Director of SPARC Europe entitled:
SCOSS: Help secure some of Open Science’s supporting infrastructure
at the Munin Conference 2017, Tromso, Norway
The document summarizes SPARC Europe's 2016 annual members meeting. It discusses growth in membership, the launch of SPARC Europe's 2016-2020 strategic plan, and coordination of open agenda advocacy efforts in Europe. It also outlines SPARC Europe's tools and resources, outreach activities, and plans to promote open access champions, map open science organizations, and sustain open access infrastructure services in Europe.
The document outlines SPARC Europe's new strategy to reflect developments in open scholarship. The strategy's scope covers open access to publications, open peer review, open data, open educational resources, research evaluation, and research integrity. The vision is to make more research accessible to all and strive to make open the default in Europe. The mission is to provide leadership to enable more access to Europe's research. The goals are to support pan-European open scholarship agendas, provide long-term leadership across Europe, reinforce open scholarship work through increased collaboration, and encourage new norms making open the default.
Open Access is up to us professors! Europe's Open Access ChampionsSPARC Europe
This document discusses Europe's Open Access Champions, a group of researchers advocating for open access to scholarly publications. It provides background on the Champions, including that they come from 8 countries and 6 disciplines. It shares messages from some Champions, such as calling on professors to support open access and stopping discrimination against open access publications in research evaluation. The Champions discuss issues like open access and research careers, what still needs to be done to advance open access like improving research evaluation and employment criteria, and ethics around commercialization and access. Participating libraries shared lessons on engaging champions. The document advocates continuing to utilize and engage with Champions to advance open access advocacy work.
Making Open the Default in Scholarly Communication, and the Implications for ...SPARC Europe
This document summarizes a presentation about making open access the default in scholarly communication and implications for libraries. The key points are:
1) Open access promises to remove barriers to access, reduce costs, and increase research impact, but is not yet the norm due to obstacles like assessment systems rewarding prestige publications and a culture that does not incentivize open practices.
2) Libraries can help by advocating for policy changes, educating researchers, and reallocating resources from licensing to supporting open infrastructure and services.
3) Significant changes are needed as the system transitions to open access as the default, including collaboration between libraries and reallocation of resources, in order to ensure libraries remain relevant in the future scholarly ecosystem

2. Making open the default
• What should be “open by default”? Papers or more?
• In UK, government & research councils have effectively already made open the
default for papers in science.
• But sharing papers is just the start.

6. “Moral”reasons to share research products
Being told to do something without seeing the benefit:
1. Funding mandates
2. e.g. requests from “ResearchFish”
3. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
Time committment to get metadata and share.
Giving away competitive edge.
Why bother?
6
8. Selfish reasons to share
Why not align what is good for science with what is good for scientists?
1. Funding mandates (REF + enforcement from Wellcome Trust)
2. Credit through data papers
3. Leads to further collaborations (e.g.“EPAmeadev”)
4. Fixes data bugs / errors in analysis
5. Avoid the data loss (Vines et al 2014). e.g. students have a habit of leaving…
6. Your future self is probably one of the main beneficiaries of sharing.
8
10. What to share?
• In some fields, we can share not just data files …
• Share code that analyses data and generates figures/tables
• Share entire computing environment through virtual environments (Docker).
• Bioconductor is a huge success in computational biology (Gentleman et al. 2004)
(Huber et al 2015).
• Reproducible research often comes “for free” with advanced software
enviroments, such as R or python (knitr, jupyter).
• e.g. Eglen et al (2014) Gigascience paper.
10
11. How to encourage sharing
1. We train our students in reproducible research.
2. When reviewing papers I usually need to ask “Is data/code available?”.
3. Working with funders and publishers to encourage sharing. preprint.

13. Current status in the life sciences
Problems
• Life scientists still beholden to career-defining “Prestige journals”
• Author Processing Charge free-for-all driven by what market can bear
• As such, stuck in hybrid OA universe
Positives
• “Data” papers give credit for sharing
• Lower-cost solutions: PeerJ, F1000 Research, Ubiquity Press
• PLOS well-established, eLife
• #ASAPbio preprints on the rise …

14. Rise of biorxiv
Can submit directly to several journals.
cf 9000 new submissions/month to arxiv

15. The view from the UK
• Not all scientists want bulk deals. We want open deals.
• Bulk deals may be convenient, but hard to move away from.
• Return to individual subscriptions?

17. Markowetz maxims for reproducibility
1. Reproducibility helps avoid disaster (Potti)
2. Reproducibility makes it easier to write papers
3. Reproducibility helps reviewers see it your way (Pouzat)
4. Reproducibility enables continuity of your ideas
5. Reproducibility helps to build your reputation (“nothing to hide”)
